    My research aims to improve our understanding of the volcanic activity on Earth and on other rocky planets of our Solar system. So far I have been focusing mainly on effusive volcanic activity and more specifically on the rheology of basaltic lava flows. The aim of my PhD project was to experimentally explore the rheological properties of Martian magmas, both above and below the liquidus and to correlate it with the morphology of lava flows in order to better understand magma dynamics and volcanic evolution throughout the entire history of Mars. I m now focussing on the eruptive history of some shield volcanoes in Mexico. Looking at the link of their composition with the mode of lava emplacement and edifice growth. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
